AN: I'm back! Sorry if this took a bit longer than expected, but work can be a bitch. Now some of you might be wondering where this story is going to go. Right now I'm content with it ending right where the end of season 2. Like right now we're technically still in the first episode of the season. If you played the season or watched a YouTuber play it, then you know what to expect. If not then I recommend you watch a YouTuber's walkthrough or buy the game whenever you can. Also you should watch the Loud House as well. Because for those who haven't might get a bit confused when something from Lincoln past shows up. Anyways I kept you guys long enough, ON WITH THE CHAPTER! Enjoy!

"Clem, are you alright?" Lincoln asked in a soft and concerned tone, as he grew worried for his traveling companion. Clementine then let out a small gasp as she slapped Lincoln's hand away. "Whoa, Whoa Clementine it's just me! You know Lincoln!"

After taking a few deep breaths Clementine was beginning to calm down. The young girl soon let out a small sigh of relief. She then looked at Lincoln with regretful expression.

"Sorry about that, it's just… I was thinking about… about my old group." Clementine shamefully admit in a almost chocked up tone. Something Lincoln caught on immediately. Before he could say or do anything Clementine beat him to it. "Look… I just… need a minute. Please, just a minute Lincoln."

This shocked Lincoln, but he didn't show it. He only responded with a small and understanding nod. Clementine slightly mouthed a thank you before turning back towards the grave. Lincoln decided to check near the wrecked dock where he found Clementine near by. To see of he missed anything and to give Clementine some much needed space.

But before he left he did something very unlike him.

"Clementine… I've lost people too. I know how it's like to be where you're at right now. So, take your time." Lincoln said in a soft and caring tone. He wished he could have turned around and say that. But he didn't want to make things worse for Clementine. "But if you need me… I'm right here."

And with that Lincoln walked off to the dock. Leaving Clementine alone, who was thinking about what Lincoln said. But what both kids didn't notice is that they were being watched. Not by a person or even a walker. Just by something who's been struggling to survive out here alone. Just like them.

With Lincoln

Lincoln had finally made his way to wrecked dock. Which was far enough from Clementine to give her some much needed space. Something the poor girl clearly needed.

"Man, this is why I prefer to deal with walkers." Lincoln quietly said out loud to himself as he looked out on the river. Which was a lot calmer now unlike last night. "Shit, why did I agree to this? After all the stuff I've done, why would I start caring now?"

Caring, that was something Lincoln never thought he say… or feel again. Especially after what happened with his family and Pop-Pop. The latter being the hardest. The rest of his family… they could all be dead or even walkers for all he cared.

While cold, that's all Lincoln knew. At least what he used to feel like. After everything he's done. Being cold and angry at the world and people was something he only knew. That is until he met Clementine. And after a year of being alone kind of mellowed him out. But to forgive his family for what they did to him… he can't forgive or forget.

But even though he thought like that. There was one person that Lincoln can forgive.

"Lily… my baby sister." Lincoln whispered as he continued to look out towards the calm river. "I hope you're alright… but should I?"

"Living in this world… isn't something I want for you. The struggle for survival and the threat of the walkers and people like me… sometimes I wonder… is it all worth it?" Lincoln quietly asked himself as kept staring out to the river. Survival, was everything he did worth it? The lying, the stealing… the killing. What would his grandfather or Lily think of him? What would Clementine think of him if he told her? "Am I no better than people like Roman or those scavengers who tried to rob Clementine and her friend… am I worse?"

Before Lincoln could say or think of anything else about the subject. He heard footsteps slowly making there way towards him. He turned around to see Clementine walking towards him, with a guilty and sad expression.

"I'm… I'm done. Let's get going." Clementine told Lincoln with her expression the same while her tone was calm and soft. Lincoln gave a small nod and began to make his way to the path he found last night. But as he passed Clementine, she spoke one last time before following his lead. "Lincoln… thank you… for everything."

Lincoln briefly stopped, he didn't turn or say a word before resuming the walk to the path. Clementine only kept silent as she continued to follow her fellow traveling companion. Both not knowing what laid out ahead of them. But we're prepared for anything. Almost anything anyways.

A Few Minutes Later

The path they walked was quiet, the only thing heard was the leaves rustling on the tree. No animals or even crickets were heard. Something Lincoln noticed and he didn't like it. If no animals or even insects were around, that usually meant something bigger was up and about.

'There's always a bigger fish… that's what Pop-Pop used to say at least. Or was that from star wars?' Lincoln thought as he questioned where he heard that saying from. He gave a slight shake of his and kept walking. His crossbow drawn and Clementine close behind him prepared for anything. 'Whatever spooked the animals could still be around, better be ready for anything.'

As both kids continued to on the path. Clementine noticed a sign as they passed it. It said watch out for wild animals. Which were wolves, mountain lions and bears. All of which she would not like to meet.

Lincoln saw the sign but didn't give it much thought. If they ran into some dangerous wild animals he would take care of it. Though if it was a bear or a pack of wolves than they might have a problem. But they'll cross that bridge when they get to it.

"Clem, stick close and be ready for anything." Lincoln whispered to the girl as they continue to walk. Clementine gave a small nod as she kept up with Lincoln's pace. "Remember, there isn't just walkers in these woods."

Clementine remained silent as she and Lincoln kept on walking. Then both suddenly heard a couple of bushes rustling near them.

"Crap." Lincoln cursed as he readied his crossbow and aimed where the bushes were. "Clementine stay behind me."

Without hesitating Clementine immediately hid behind Lincoln with her gun drawn.

As the rustling got a bit louder, that meant whatever was making that noise was getting closer. Lincoln took a deep breath as he placed his finger on trigger ready to fire. But as something came out of the bushes Clementine immediately stopped Lincoln

"Wait!" Clementine exclaimed as she stopped Lincoln by pushing his crossbow towards the ground. Lincoln looked shock by what Clementine, but he was more shocked by what he saw. "It's a dog."

And a dog it was. While both kids didn't know what kind of breed it was. It was safe to say that this dog had been here in the woods for awhile. It's fur was light brown and fairly dirty. It also appeared to be aggressive as well as it gave a small growl as it looked at Lincoln and Clementine as a threat.

"Shit." Lincoln cursed as he resumed aiming his crossbow at the dog. Something that the dog didn't take as a threat per say, but it was still growling. But before Lincoln or the dog could day anything. Clementine once again pushed Lincoln's bow away from the dog. And Lincoln had just about had enough. "Clem, it's a wild dog. Look at him, he could have rabies and might take a bite out of one of us."

"But Lincoln look at him, he's probably just hungry. He's also probably been here awhile to." Clementine said as she looked at the dog who stopped growling as it laid it's eyes on Clementine. Something the girl immediately noticed. She then looked to Lincoln with pleading expression. "Come on Lincoln, look at him. He's just hungry. Can we at least give him something. Please?"

Now normally Lincoln would have said no and shoot the dog. Probably skin it and get as much meat as he could. He's done it before, dog meat was sure different but was kind of tasty. It tasted kind of sweet and a bit rough. But it was sure tasty. What he'd do about the hide was he'd clean it and after it dried he'd do something about it when he got time.

So him killing dog was something normal to him, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Not with Clementine looking at him like that. This pleading eyes, something that reminded him of a Lily.

With a sigh Lincoln eased up a bit as he kept his crossbow pointed at the ground. Which caused Clementine to smile a little.

"You can give it a can of dog food I've been saving, but that's it." Lincoln finally gave in as he let Clementine have her way. While Clementine was grateful, she couldn't help but give Lincoln an odd look. And before she could say a thing. Lincoln beat her to it. "Look, I have a can or two in case I run out of the good stuff. And before you ask yes it tastes like shit."

Clementine only giggled before she began to dig through Lincoln's pack. A short while of digging she finally found the can of dog food. She kept on digging and found a small swiss army knife Lincoln used for opening cans and other things. Without a minute longer Clementine carefully opened the can and proceeded to dump it all on the ground for the dog.

"There you go boy." Clementine said as she and Lincoln took a step or two back so the dog could not feel threatened as it ate. The dog while very hungry hesitated. Seeing how the dog was still on guard Clementine decided to give a bit of encouragement. "Go on, it's alright boy. We aren't going to hurt you."

The dog soon gave out friendly bark as it slowly made it's way to the food. After getting a whiff of it the dog immediately dug right in and munched down the food. Like it hadn't eaten in days.

After a full minute of eating the dog was done. It even licked the ground.

"Man, poor guy really hasn't eaten in days." Clementine pointed out as it kept licking the ground a bit more. After it was done, the dog let out a quite happy bark. It then made it's way to both Clementine and Lincoln. While Lincoln was still on guard, Clementine took a knee and gently petted it's head as it reached them. "Aww, you aren't so bad. You're kind of cute."

"Yeah if you like stinky and wild mutts." Lincoln whispered as he took a step back. Clementine only turned around and gave him a dirty but somewhat cute look. "I mean, not that it's a bad thing. Some people like the mangy stinky look, its… uh… I'm gonna shut up now."

Clementine then resumed petting the dog, and as she was doing that. She noticed the dog was wearing a collar. And it had a name tag on it.

"Sam, so that's your name." Clementine said as she scratched it head a little, something that made the dog now revealed to be Sam happy. "I wonder where your owners are? Are they around boy?"

"Clementine it's a dog, not a parrot." Lincoln chimed in as he got a bit closer to Clementine and Sam. "I don't thing Lassie here is going to lead us to its owners. Or what's left of them."

Before Clementine could say anything to Lincoln, Sam immediately started to bark. Like it was trying to say something.

Both kids only looked it confusion as Sam started wag it's tail and bark.

"If I didn't know better I think this mutt is actually trying to tell us something." Lincoln stated as he and Clementine looked on at the dog. After saying that something suddenly popped up in his mind. And with a moment like this he couldn't resist. "What is it boy!? Did Timmy fall down a well!? Is the old mill on fire!? Is Timmy stuck in the well!?"

Sam stopped a gave Lincoln a low growl, something that surprised Lincoln. Clementine on the other hand gave soft and play slap on his shoulder.

"Man tough crowd, tough crowd." Lincoln sighed as he rubbed his shoulder a bit. "Guess comedy died when the crowd started to eat the comedians. Man, poor Gabriel Iglesias and the rest of those poor smucks."

"Will you cut it out, Sam might actually be trying to tell us something." Clementine said to Lincoln in a serious and disapproving tone. "What is it boy, do you want us to follow you?"

Sam gave out another bark in response, he then started to walk away back towards the bushes. He then sniffed the ground and turned around to bark at Clementine and Lincoln. Probably to follow them. But before either one could say anything. Sam immediately ran back past the bushes and just kept on running.

"Sam! Where are you going?!" Clementine shouted out to the dog. She then started run after him. Something Lincoln did not like at all. "Come on, he probably found something."

'Shit'

"Clementine you don't just follow some random ass dog in the woods like an idiot!" Lincoln exclaimed trying to talk some sense into his traveling companion. But Clementine didn't seem to hear him or probably not care because she quickly went after Sam. "And that's just fantastic, just fucking fantastic."

"Clem, wait up!" Lincoln called to the girl as he went after her. "Clementine!"

As Lincoln chased after Clementine who was following Sam. No on noticed something else nearby watching them. Then a low and aggressive growl was heard.

A Couple Of Minutes Later

It took awhile for Lincoln to finally catch up to Clementine who was kneeling down with Sam behind some bushes. And what they were looking at was what seemed to be a wrecked camp along with an abandoned van. That looked wrecked and rusted to hell. This was probably where Sam was staying at or found.

'Dann dog, probably attracted a whole heard of walkers with its barking.'

Lincoln could only roll his eyes as he quietly snuck behind them.

Of course Clementine took a look back as she heard a twig snap. But after seeing it was only Lincoln she didn't need to worry.

"Dammit Clem, you know how sketchy it is going through the woods hollering like an idiot. You could have attracted walkers or worse." Lincoln whispered harshly as he took a knee down with Clementine. Sam of course gave a low bark at Lincoln. Something Lincoln didn't find cute. "And you, do you want to be walker chow? Barking like a dumb mutt isn't going to help either of us."

Sam only responded with a low growl.

"Oh keep it up Cujo, because I'll make a meal out you myself." Lincoln threaded the dog as he gave Sam a mild glare. Sam of course only barked before heading into the camp. Clementine of course was close behind. The girl then motioned Lincoln to follow as well. Lincoln only gave out a loud sigh before following Clementine into the camp. "I should have shot that fucking dog, but no. Clem just had to do the puppy eyes."

While Lincoln was in a sour mood, Clementine seemed happy enough as walked into the camp.

"Was this your home Sam?" Clementine asked the dog who only barked as he began to sniff out the area. "Got to say, it's not much."

Clem soon began to search around the camp site. Lincoln didn't bother as he knew anything useful around here was probably long gone. But better safe than sorry.

"Man, this place is a dump." Lincoln stated out loud as he looked around. "That van is definitely not going to run. Anything useful here is probably long gone. So yeah, thanks Lassie. Want to lead us to a dump yard next. Because that'd be just great."

Sam of course only barked as kept on sniffing here and there. Which didn't amuse Lincoln one bit.

"Dumb mutt." Was all Lincoln said before he started to search around the area as well. Even though he thought it was pretty much useless.

After a few minutes of searching here and there. Lincoln and Clementine only found useless junk. A dog bowl with Sam's name out, empty cans, a couple of wrecked tents and a picture of a family with Sam in it.

"Looks like they were a happy family once." Clem said out loud in a somber tone. Lincoln didn't say a word, but he still felt a bit of heartache. Sam gave out a small whine. Clementine gently placed the picture back where she found it before resuming her search. "You think they left anything good behind?"

Lincoln gave a slight shake of his as she kept his crossbow close.

"I doubt it, these guys were attacked and are probably walker chow or are walkers." Lincoln said as he looked around the area. Looking for anything. Or something. "Damn dog probably left before they got him or they just left him behind."

The latter was something Clementine didn't like one bit.

"How could anyone abandon their dog, he isn't a person but still." Clementine said as she looked to Sam with a bit sympathy. "You don't abandon those close to you. That… that isn't right."

Lincoln didn't say a word as he kept on the lookout for anything. But what Clementine said got to him a little. Being abandoned was something Lincoln knew too well.

'Guess me and the mutt aren't that different.'

Lincoln only shook his head as he continued to look around. Then all of a sudden Sam started to bark very loudly and aggressively by a large stump.

"Geez it's like a god damn chihuahua, we hear you mutt!" Lincoln shouted to Sam who kept on barking. "I really should have shot that fucking dog."

Lincoln only sighed as he started to make his way to Sam with Clementine close behind. And when they got there both were shocked by what Sam was barking at. It was a walker who was tied to the stump with a rope. It hand a knife lodged in it's arm. Probably where he got bit.

"Well, looks like this poor bastard tried to cut out where he got bit." Lincoln pointed out as aimed his bow at the walker who tried to reach for Lincoln. But to no avail. "That never works, he only killed himself faster. Probably bled out before he could turn. A couple of minutes he turned anyways."

SWISH!

THWACK!

And just like that the walker was dead. An arrow right through the temple of its head. Lincoln then leaned over and quickly pulled out his arrow. But as he was doing it. A sudden realization hit him.

"Wait, it was you wasn't it!" Lincoln shouted at Sam. "You were that thing lurking by my camp last night!"

Sam only barked while Clementine only looked at Lincoln with confusion. She then shook her head slightly before she went to a large trash can. Hoping to find anything. While she did that Lincoln continued to chew out Sam who only barked.

As that went on Clementine finally made it the trash can and began to dig through. And eventually found something. A can of what appeared to be beans or something.

"Well at least we found something." Clementine said out loud as started to walk to Lincoln and Sam so she could place this can into Lincoln's pack. Lincoln and Sam of course were still "arguing". If can call Lincoln chewing Sam who only barked arguing. "I Guess those two like each other. Or is that the opposite?"

Clementine only shook her head as she finally reached her traveling companion and new found friend. But before she could place the can of food into Lincoln's pack. A couple of bushes began to rustle near by. That immediately made everyone stop doing what they were doing.

"What now? Cats?" Lincoln jokingly said as he drawn up his crossbow at the bushes. "Because I am not having a good day today."

As the rustling continue Sam began to growl very aggressively. Like he already knew what was making that noise wasn't nice. Not nice at all, and he was right.

Growling was soon heard coming from the bushes. Very mean and loud growling Lincoln knew to well.

"Clementine, draw your gun and get behind me." Lincoln told Clementine in a low and serious tone. "We got company, and they're not walkers."

And walkers they weren't. Because they were four mangy wild dogs worst of than Sam that came out of the bushes. And they looked mean and very hungry.

Clementine looked fearful as she drew he gun and got behind Lincoln. Sam on other hand got in front of both Lincoln and Clementine. In a very protective way.

"I'm guessing these guys aren't friends of yours eh mutt?" Lincoln asked as he kept his bow aimed at the pack of wild dogs. Who only growled and bark as they got closer. Sam growled and barked back as he stayed in front of the kids who fed him. "Yeah I thought as much."

The tension in the air was thick as Lincoln was on edge along with Clementine. Sam only barked and growled at the wild dogs very defensively. The dogs did the same as they got closer and closer. Lincoln knew that if he and Clementine had a chance they would need to kill these dogs now.

"Clementine, I'm going to shoot the one in the middle. You take the two on the right." Lincoln carefully instructed to Clementine who only nodded as she aimed her gun at the dogs on the right. Sam on the other hand was growling at the one the far left. Who had its eyes on Sam. Lincoln noticed this. "Alright mutt, if you can understand me than you go after the one on the far left. Me and Clem will help after we deal with the rest of these mutts."

Sam only growled as the dogs got closer. And Lincoln knew it was now or never.

"TAKE THEM DOWN!" Lincoln yelled out as she fired his bow.

SWISH!

THWACK!

The dog Lincoln hit fell to the ground with a loud whine! The rest on the other hand charged at both kids and Sam! Who also charged. Clementine immediately fired her gun at the upcoming dogs!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Clementine managed to get at least three shots at one of the dogs. Who died and fell to the ground dead. But before she could shoot the other one, her gun suddenly started to jam! Sam was currently fighting one of the dogs, and it looked like he was winning. Both dogs biting and tearing each others flesh!

Lincoln was trying to quickly reload his crossbow. But he stopped when he saw Clementine trying desperately to fire her gun but to no avail! He also saw the dog Clementine was trying to shoot coming right at her with its teeth out! And without a second thought Lincoln acted!

"YOU LEAVE HER ALONE YOU FUCKING MUTT!" Lincoln yelled out as dropped his bow and pack and ran right in front of Clementine just as the dog reached her. The dog of course didn't care who it attacked so it bit down right into his left arm! Which really hurt like a bitch for Lincoln. "FUCK!"

Clementine only looked on at shock for a second before trying to unjam her gun again! Lincoln only howled in pain as he started to punch the dog as hard as he could! But the dog had its teeth tightly clamped on Lincoln's arm! After a minute of trying to unjam her gun she immediately stopped and went for Lincoln's rife! Which had been thrown off Lincoln's shoulder when the dog jumped right at him and brought him to the ground.

As Clementine ran for the gun, Lincoln kept on yelling out in pain as the dog bit down harder!

"SHOOT IT! FUCK!" Lincoln yelled out in pain as he kept punching the dog in the face. "CLEMENTINE FUCKING KILL IT NOW!"

It pained Clementine to hear Lincoln scream in agony! Thankfully Clementine finally reached the rife and took aim at the dog attacking Lincoln! But something very unexpected happened! Sam who was all bloodied ran up and started to attack the dog attacking Lincoln!

The dog immediately stopped biting Lincoln and started to fight with Sam! Lincoln's arm was very bloody and blood started to seep out of where the dog locked it's jaws on him.

"CLEM SAVE SAM!" Lincoln yelled out to Clementine in pain as he tightly held his arm where he was bleeding. "KILL THAT DAMN DOG!"

Clementine didn't waste any time as she took aim at the dog fighting Sam! She waited a brief minute to get a clear shot before she fired!

BANG!

The last remaining dog then fell to the ground dead as Clementine shot it right through the chest!

After killing the last dog. Clementine immediately ran to Lincoln! Who was still bleeding in pain as tried to stop it.

"Lincoln!" Clementine exclaimed in concern as kneeled down right next Lincoln. "W-what do I do?!"

"Shit! L-look in my pack for bandages and morphine!" Lincoln loudly ordered Clementine. "Right now Clementine!"

Clementine wasted no time as she went right away to Lincoln pack. She then desperately searched through the bag looking for what she needed!

As Clementine was doing that, Sam began to slowly limp towards Lincoln. Who looked at Sam in pain. But he couldn't he couldn't help but feel grateful towards Sam.

"Couldn't have been a little quicker eh boy?" Lincoln half-heartedly joked. Sam only gave out a whine as he finally made it to Lincoln. Where after reaching Sam gently started to lick Lincoln face. "I'll be alright boy… you on the other look like shit."

Sam barked very weakly as he softy laid down next to Lincoln. Lincoln only smiled as he held his arm tightly as he kept on bleeding.

"I found them!" Clementine yelled out as she quickly ran back to Lincoln who gave out a sigh of relief. "Now what do I do?!"

"Carefully bandage my arm tightly. It's not a permanent solution but I won't bleed to death thankfully." Lincoln softly instructed Clementine. "After that all I need is some morphine and I'm good until we get somewhere safe. Now let's hurry, those shots probably got some attention."

Clementine only nodded as she shakily started to unroll the roll of bandages. Seeing how shaky Clementine, Lincoln decided to try help calm her nerves.

"Clem, it's ok. I'm not going to die." Lincoln softy tried to calm Clementine down. "Don't blame yourself for this. This is because I got careless. So don't you think this your fault."

Clementine only gave a small nod.

"Alright, now I'm going to stop holding onto my wound ok? And what I want you to do is quickly bandage it." Lincoln carefully instructed even though he was in pain. "Can you do that Clem?"

Clementine nodded once again as she was ready. Seeing that she ready, Lincoln quickly removed his hand and proceeded to let Clementine bandage him up. And she in a careful and quick pace.

As she was doing that Lincoln winced a little as she did it. Lincoln brought his attention to Sam who was still laying down next him. The poor dog fought tooth and nail to protect him and Clementine. Even though it was probably because they had given him food.

After seeing how injured Sam was. Lincoln did something unexpected. As Clementine continued to bandage him. Lincoln gently petted Sam's head. That caused the injured to let a weak but pleasant bark.

"Thanks for saving me back there." Lincoln softy thanked the dog who saved him. "Guess you're not just a mutt after all."

Sam barked before he started to lick his wounds.

"And done." Clementine softy announced as she finished wrapping Lincoln wound. "Are you going to be ok?"

Lincoln didn't say a word as he grabbed the bottle of morphine from Clementine. After that he opened the bottle and took a pill out. Something of which he immediately swallowed down.

"Now I'm going to be ok." Lincoln stated with a weak smile. "Though Sam here is going to need more bandages than me. Poor mutt bit off more than he could chew."

"Is he… going to make it?" Clementine softy asked in concern as she slowly petted Sam's head. "Is there anything we can do?"

Lincoln only sighed as he slowly tried to get up. But that attack took a bit out of him than expected. Luckily though Clementine was there to help him up. After that Lincoln took the rolls of bandages away from Clementine.

"The only thing we can do is bandage him up. And hope for the best." Lincoln stated as he began to unroll the bandages. "We'll have to cut our pace a little if he's coming with us. Which isn't going to be fun."

"Wait, you mean he's coming with us?" Clementine asked in a shocked expression. "I thought you didn't like him?"

"Trust me I don't. Another mouth to feed isn't going to help us." Lincoln somewhat harshly said as began to bandage Sam up. Who gave a small fuss at first but stopped as Lincoln gently patted his head. "But he saved us. And I'm not gonna forget that. If he can keep up he can come."

Clementine only smiled before walking over to Lincoln and giving him a small hug. Something Lincoln brushed off with a blush. Clementine of course wasn't bothered by it.

"So, what's the plan?" Clementine asked as she petted Sam.

"Well, after we get Sam patched up. We move out. And hope we can find shelter before nightfall." Lincoln explained as he kept on bandaging Sam. "That fight took a bit out me. I'm gonna need a breather when have time. I'm going to need you to take my rifle too."

"And before you ask yes it's because of my arm. Also because I don't want your gun jamming on us again." Lincoln harshly stated. "I'll fix when we set up camp later. You got it?"

"Yeah, I got it" Clementine answered with a nod.

Lincoln gave a nod in return before resuming on patching Sam up. Soon both kids were silent while Sam gave the occasional bark here and there.

A couple of minutes later Lincoln was done patching up Sam who was up but still limped a bit. Clementine held onto Lincoln's rifle while her glock was holstered. Lincoln had packed everything up and had is crossbow strapped over his shoulder. He gave a nod to Clementine who nodded back.

"Let's go boy." Clementine said to Sam with a small smile. "Looks like your coming with us to Wellington."

Sam only barked as he started to follow Clementine with Lincoln close behind.

'Let's hope we can make it to Wellington' Lincoln thought grimly as he followed Clementine and Sam into the forest. All of whom did not know what waited ahead of them.
